They are arranged radially upon an axis, I, mounted in suitable supports, and having as many dat sides J at one or both of the bearings as there are targets, to rest flat thereon, and arrest and hold the targets in position by the falling of the dat sides on the bearing, thus making the target self-righting.

The contrivance is calculated to make a simple and attractive toy, for use with pea-shooters and the like, for the amusement of children.
